Ford Expedition FX4 Aims for the Off-Road

Lots of families around the world use an SUV because they need space for people and cargo. The Ford Expedition is one of the few full-size SUVs left out there. Ford has announced that it has a new version of the Expedition that people who want a full-size SUV and want some off-road capability will appreciate. The 2018 Expedition FX4 claims to be the most off-road capable Expedition ever made.

The FX4 brings tech and 4×4 hardware to the mix that allows the Expedition to operate on trails and unpaved surfaces with more skill than previously available. The FX4 package includes off-road tuned shocks, an electronic limited slip rear diff, skid plates, side steps, and FX4 badging.

The FX4 also gets a new Terrain Management System that lets the driver select modes to optimize driving dynamics. Ford says that the new FX4 will appeal to the over 20% of Expedition owners that use the SUV off-road. The truck also comes with rubber floor liners to prevent mud, sand, and water from fouling the interior. The Expedition FX4 will go on sale this fall with pricing unannounced.
